I had written a few days ago about my husband's incessant, inexplicable need to upgrade our computers and how, on his latest impulse-driven outing on my computer, he lost all my i-photos and slideshows I had prepared for my mom's upcoming birthday.
Well as of 9:40 this evening, I have completed (and backed-up on a disc) the two slideshows I'd lost. Phew!
My mom's b-day celebration is next Saturday and I am thrilled to have finished the slideshows...again!
I have to say I'm pretty proud of them. I used Point of Grace's "How You Live" for one of them. For the more goofy, funny slideshow I used a little-known song by Lori Loza called "Perfect Woman". It is such a cute song. Here are the lyrics. My mom loves Proverbs 31 (the theme of her party) so I HAD to include this:
Well I had a dream just the other night I was perfect woman in the perfect life. I prayed every morning at the crack of dawn All my children called me Saint Mom I never got tired, I never ran late My house was spotless 24 hours a day.
My kitchen produced only gourmet meals I ran a taxi on the side to the little league field I joined every committee that the church could form But I was always waiting when my man got home They listed my phone in Proverbs 31 So the women could call to see just how it's done.
I was a perfect woman Impossible though it seems I was a perfect woman Even if only in my dreams!
I never made one mistake while training my kids Dr. Dobson even called to get some help with his The Lord never said no to my requests I was always anointed, I was always blessed I was always smilin' I never got down I never showed a wrinkle and I never gained a pound
I was a perfect woman Impossible though it seems I was a perfect woman Even if only in my dreams!
Well, if you're feeling somewhat overwhelmed Don't be afraid to lay that burden down You can't do it all haven't you been told Sometimes a woman's gotta just say, "No" Stay true to your God and your family and if you're perfect chances are you're dreaming just like me!
I should try to figure out how to upload the song. It's so fun. I suppose I could ask my husband...no wait! What am I saying? He's not allowed to touch my computer for a year!!
Blessings to all. I shall sleep the sleep that comes from total mental exhaustion!! (But it was worth it for my awesome mom!) Connie
